Lipper: 2018 Was An Outstanding Year For ETFs In Europe

TedTed
in The Bullpen
FYI: The year 2018 was an outstanding year for exchange-traded funds even though it was a tough year for the European fund industry overall. The return of volatility caused by uncertainties coming from a possible trade war between the USA and China, the ongoing Brexit discussions, and a possible return of the euro crisis after the forming of a government in Italy led European investors to reduce the risk in their portfolios. The corresponding transactions led to overall outflows of -129.2 billion euro from mutual funds registered for sale in Europe over the course of 2018. In contrast to their actively managed peers (-171.4 billion euro), ETFs registered for sale in Europe enjoyed inflows of 42.2 billion euro and had another positive year.
